hey, im 19, ive been struggling with this almost a year. The first week I became itchy I went in to check about a yeast infection another week later. I have been to 10 different doctors a total of about 15 appointments for this problem for the past 11 months. I have been tested for everything including having a biopsy. I was first told basically to just go home and use hydrocortazone, then I went …

I’m so glad I’ve found a place where there are others who understand how I feel!

So this is my story:-

I’m 36, and 4 months ago, whilst innocently sitting in bed reading I experienced a very sharp stabbing pain in my clitoris. It last only a few minutes and then subsided as quickly as it came on. It put it down to “one of those things”. The following morning I woke up …

About three months ago, I started having vaginal and vulval itching. Then, about two months ago, my vulva started to feel painful and look swollen, so I went to the doctor. I was tested for herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea which all came back negative. I also had to do a vaginal swab test and the only thing that came back positive was yeast infection. I was prescribed hydrozole …

This might be a little long but it's been such a long time I've even been able to talk about my problems openly thank you in advance for any helpful advice.
So ok I'm 24 I've been having this problem for over two years seen quite a few doctors and obgyns alike and nobody will take me seriously I have had a few utis and yeast infections and even bv once and this all started after one of the utis …

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the MonaLisa Touch treatment for Vulvodynia? My pain started when I went on HRT(pill) for anxiety mainly and my pain abruntly stopped when I stopped HRT. However, when I started on the HRT patch (at my dr's suggestion), the pain returned and has never left. That was 7 years ago. I found MonaLisa Touch on the internet purely by accident …

Hi there. I'm 25 and have been dealing with this for over a year and a half and I'm really starting to lose hope this will ever stop.

In July of 2016 I had a yeast infection. When Monistat didn't work I went to my gynecologist who prescribed Diflucan. When the itching didn't stop she retested me and found that my yeast infection was gone, but I now had a bacterial infection. After taking the …

I'm honestly hoping to get any bit of advice anyone might have to offer. I go from bouts of sobbing hysterically in my boyfriend's arms to feeling confident that I can beat this.

I haven't been actually diagnosed with vulvodynia but EVERYTHING under the sun has come back negative. I started having sex 4 years ago after starting Lo Loestrin, with my first and current boyfriend …

I am new here and hope to gain some insight into my vulva pain. I suffered for a long time not realizing that there are ways to feel better. I saw the Dr. yesterday and I am starting P/T pelvic and valium suppositories.

Hi guys new here and newly diagnosed. So I had bv and then after alot of antibiotics and home remedies I still continued to have weird symptoms despite swabs being negative. Two seperate gynes have told me I have vulvodynia as a result of the area being overwhelmed. So first gave me lidocaine which xidnt do much. No I am on amitriptyline for the past 5 days. Seems to be kicking in a little (im a very anxious person so I dont wanna hear about the sidee effects thanks ha). So the last few days my symptoms are the following.. :prickling and stabbing nerves all over vulva. Changing from clit to vastibule to vagina. Feels like a trapped nerve actually. I habr itchy perineum and anus. Not much burning reallu anymore. Mostly sharp nerves and almost like theres a foreign body down there and like something needs to be released hence the trapped nerve feeling. I have been told by all docs this will go as the nerves need a chance to calm down. I saw a chiropractor today who told me that my pelvis was misaligned and that my coxyc is inturned meaning it could ve causing impinged nerves. Im just so confused. Can someone tell me if they experience any of these symptoms and their thoughts. I never had anything like this till the bv last year. Please help. And no.scarey stories please im already off work a month scared shitless.

Hello Katiej!I have similar symptoms. My itching is from the clitoris to the rectal area. I have already gone a long way about my condition. I have a few questions to you:1. Have you tried an antifungal cream throughout your area with oral pills?2. Also I have to find out if you had anal sex? if it is true you need to check with your doctor if you have anal HPV and condyloma. It can cause itching and you should treat it.3. Do you have anal fissures? If the answer is yes, the vaginal secretions that fall in them cauased the itching.If you excluded these factors, I think the pudendal nerve causes our condition. I'm treating the coccyx with my neurologist, although I've never had a problem with it.Also, you should observe where your symptoms begin.If they appear in your vagina first, then the proximity of the organs can provoke a burning sensation in the areas near your vagina. It is very important to understand where your symptoms begin.You can write to me, I am from Russia and I will be happy to talk with you about it. May be I will be able to give you some advice!

Hi there thanks for your reply. I have ruled out any possible std or infection. I dont have anal fissures. I had anal sex once but thats not causing this. I had the hpv vaccine years ago so im pretty sure im clear of that. My symptoms dont begin anywhere they are there 24/7 and constantly change. I am very sore all over vulva. Like its raw then burning then itching. Sometimes just sharp stabbing knife like nerve pain with no itching. I have been told its the nerves firing all over vagina and anus and that they need to calm down as they think there is still trauma goin on. I had about ten antibiotics in a row at one stage and lots of antifungal cream. My swabs are also all negative. To look at there is no redness. My discharge is normal. And no cuts or marks or anything at all. I just wanna know im not stuck like this forever and that even if I am someone or something can be done to reduce the discomfort.

Our symptoms are very similar.Okay, I'm very pleased that you are vaccinated from HPV, this is great news!Also, I assure you, nothing can be forever, we just got the most uncomfortable disease.

That's what can help you (this helped me):

1) Buy two types of candles: to enhance local immunity and with lactobacilli. Alternate these candles. I mean today you put a candle to improve immunity, and tomorrow you will put candle to restore lactobacilli. Do a one-week course and review the result. This made for me the first small remission. If therapy helps, continue, you can add oral probiotics. It means that in your vagina conditionally pathogenic microorganisms are rampant, which you can cure only with large doses of lactobacilli. This is called "dysbiosis" in Russia. I think this is a very bad disease.

2) Lubricate the burning area with coconut oil. I do not know why this works, but coconut oil really helps us. Also this will reduce the risk of candidiasis

3) Use only soap with lactic acid. It will also help to work your vagina.

4) Give up coffee. It also made my vulva less burning.

These things really helped me. Most of all, point 1, pay attention to it. These procedures are performed behind of your basic treatment. They will not make you worse, moreover, I am sure that they will improve your condition!
